PRODUCTION FROM THE FIELD

Development

Visund Sør is a field in the northern part of the North Sea, 10 kilometres northeast of the Gullfaks C platform. The water depth is 290 metres. Visund Sør was discovered in 2008, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 2011. The field is developed with a subsea template tied to Gullfaks C. The production started in 2012.

Reservoir

Visund Sør produces oil and gas from sandstone in the Middle Jurassic Brent Group and the Upper Triassic Statfjord Group. The reservoir depth is 2800-2900 metres.

Recovery strategy

The field is produced by pressure depletion.

Transport

The well stream is transported to Gullfaks C for processing and export.

Status

The production started up again in September 2023 after a temporary shut-in due to low reservoir pressure and high water production. One new well was drilled in 2023 and is producing from the Statfjord reservoir. Start-up attempts have been made to get shut-in wells back to production.
